They are caring for my wife very well and I am pleased. The community looks great and very clean. The staff is nice and very helpful. There many activities for her to choose from. She enjoys the meals, the food tastes good. I am happy with this community and would recommend it.

Garden Villas of Lenexa

This community is much closer to me than the other places we saw. It is a very nice place and my mom is transitioning very well. She has been doing some activities and she has made some new friends too. Her room is a good size for her comfort and we get to see her often.

Shawnee Hills Senior Living

The staff cares for residents like their family, checking in on them if they miss meals and helping them adjust to their new homes. The facility is updated with tile floors and blue/gray tones that feel clean and soothing. If I were of an age, I'd stay there.
